Expert to discuss good sportsmanship

Dr. Darrell Burnett, a clinical and sports psychologist specializing in youth sports, will speak about parents learning to maintain a balance between under and over involvement in their child's sports activities at the next Parent Talk Lecture Series, sponsored by Conejo Valley Adult School.

His discussion, "Parenting the Good Sport: Youth, Sports, and Self-Esteem," will be presented from 7 to 9 p.m. Tues., April 25 at Ascension Lutheran Church, 1600 E. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks.
